MW3 Didn't Copy BF3, What Brings Fans Back to CoD, and more

4.1
For those of you who think that only Infinity Ward and Treyarch work on the Call of Duty franchise, you should know that Sledgehammer Games are developing Modern Warfare 3 side by side with Infinity Ward. Today, we have found some interesting things that Glen Scholfield and Michael Condrey, the co-founders of Sledgehammer Games, said about Modern Warfare 3.

When a fan claimed that Modern Warfare 3 is copying Battlefield 3, Scholfield answered “We (the people behind MW3) haven’t copied BF3 at all. No need to and never seen much of it. We’re making the sequal to MW2, that’s what we look at.” Of course, MP1st’s loyal readers might recall that Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has only played about an hour of Battlefield 3 and loved it.

On another note, in a recent interview with NowGamer, when ask about the competition with the Battlefield 3, Condrey explained that he shares Eric Hirshberg’s thoughts, which you can find here. He went on to shed some light on what brings gamers back to Call of Duty by stating“It (Call of Duty) is fun, it’s fast, it’s 60 frames per second.” He explained “what 60 fps mean is it feels smooth, you’re in the action right away.” He ended his point with “I think that’s what’s been bringing fans back time and time again to Call of Duty.”

When asked, on twitter, on whether the premium Elite service has anything to do with Dedicated servers on PC. Condrey reassured that “(dedicated servers are) free to all PC. Independent of Elite.”

fwong42 you do know fps dont make a difference, the human eye cant tell a difference between 30 fps and 60 fps btw battlefields fps runs at a constant 30 while CoDs fps drops to 30 and 20 when the player shoots and aims and sprints. etc


well then you need glasses because i can easily see the difference


Thats just a lie. Its a proven fact that nobody can see the difference between 30fps and 60fps. If you can, you must really hate watching tv dont you?

You People Are Idiots just because we cant see the difference doesn't mean there isn't one when the game's Frame Lagging you can tell the Difference Right away.

krwskater25 Oooo.... 60 FPS.... That don't mean crap if you have a junk host
theres a big diff betweeen 60 fps and 30 fps just saying not ttrying to start a big flame war
Ok tell me what the diff is.


30 frames per second is the difference you ****, seriously how old are you 10?


YOU'RE clearly the one who is "10" here. Now read this very carefully because you're about to be proven 100% wrong and everyone here who says "DURR MW3 GONNA BE BETTER CUZ WE HAVE 30 MORE FPS~~" will also be in the same boat as you.

To give an idea of what 30 FPS as opposed to 60 FPS means, consider this: Movies you see at the theater are 24 FPS, which is the most common industry standard for film. Humans generally cannot easily detecte differences in excess of 30 FPS. 30 FPS will do just fine for Battlefield 3, as it would for MW3 if it was also running at 30 FPS.

WANT MORE? What it comes down to, and this is what many console players (Including you, derp) and even members of the press (The absolute GENIUSES at IW) fail to understand, is that the decision to make the game run at 30 FPS and 720p is because to do otherwise would come at extreme expense to the quality of the graphics and even gameplay. Console hardware, both PS3 and 360 alike, is very outdated by now. Battlefield 3 is a truly next-generation first-person shooter, and its unparalleled graphical and technological capabilities require PC hardware to be fully realized, which is half a decade more advanced and powerful than console hardware. Even at 30 FPS and 720p, BF3 pushes console graphics and technology to the absolute visual limit of the console hardwares ability WITHOUT risking damage to the gameplay. It is impressive that the only gameplay compromise that DICE was forced to make for the console versions of BF3 is dropping the player limit from 64 to 24 players.

MW3, on the other hand, is running the same engine they've been running since CoD4 (Just revamped) trolololololol

so how cool to you feel at the fact that youve spent the last few months looking up ways to show that bf3 is gonna be better then mw3? congrats you know how to use google. and saying things like derp and trolololol are a lil old dont you think kid? grow up. there games. and who cares about the pc, only reason people use them is to hack. so now before you go calling anyone a troll look at what you posted... good job, again i give you congrats that you know how to use google... now honestly, for your sake and everyone elses... stfu


No. Lol

Well said, but you just proved yourself as fanboy #1

Most people on here are going to be playing on console anyways so bringing up PC is going to be superior is pointless because it has and always will be. Graphics doesn't mean much either, it may look pretty but the gameplay is what matters, which we won't find out until BOTH the games come out. So cool your gym shorts and have some patience.


Battlefield 3 has already had a PC Alpha testing phase and the beta is in late September so lots of people already know and will know what the gameplay is like for it.

The only chance people will have at seeing and playing MW3 is at CoD XP which is only 2 days long and there probably wont be a beta period for it either so it will have hardly any online gameplay after the event.
